Ahh the merchant of doom! 

Give the boy a break, he is a decent winger coming back from a long absence.

I prefer the title of Dee realist to be honest.

He might be decent in non league football, but he lacks fitness, end product, determination and commitment to make it at this level. People still thinking he will come good are just being incredibly optimistic IMO. The guy is stinking, probably my least favourite Dee ever.

We've publicly stated that both him and the club want him to move on this month. He was never going to play yesterday as they're not going to want to cup tie him. 

I agree he should play on Wednesday. 

Let’s hope we’re not worried about what Rangers think to our own detriment. Kamara should’ve played yesterday as we’re paying his wages. 

McIntyre gives me the fear.

Whilst there are a few things conspiring against Deacon, not match fit, recovering from injury, lack of confidence etc he has shown f**k all in a year and a half to suggest he’s good enough. If we are reliant on him we’re fucked. Loan him out to arseend of the world united and be done I say. Centre mid, central defence and rb being the priorities.

If McIntyre wants to move him on then he better have two centre midfielders lined up.

This keeping him un cup-tied is a lot of shite just spouted online.

He simply has to start on Wednesday if still employed by the club. McGowan in centre midfield will take us down.

Thank you.

McGowan in central midfield will not see us relegated - that’s a ridiculous statement given that he’s played there in every season previously and we’ve not been relegated. I agree that Woods and McGowan aren’t a good enough pairing, but to say that Paul McGowan would be to blame for us being relegated is nonsense.

 

Edited to say I 100% agree with your first post, though.

Is he better than Innis and Odea? If yes we should give him a chance. I doubt we will but yeah we need something to give.
No, and neither is Kerr Waddell. We really are in the shit just now. Scary though to look back 2 seasons at players we thought were shite at the time (e.g. Nick Ross) would walk straight into this team. We’ve lost the full spine of our team in the last 2 years in Bain, Hendry, Kamara, Harkins and Hemmings as well as Stewart and failed to replace any of them with any quality.

Yet the board has let every manager to what they want and we have brought in plenty players... Just so happens majority of them have been awful. The managers they have appointed have been poor, ultimately this could cost us.Exciting stuff as never know we may turn a corner we these new signings...
 

Hartley did okay but losing Hemmings and Stewart at the same time for not a lot of money really cost him. The McCann appointment worked I suppose at the beginning but the board fucked up by not pulling out all the stops to go and get Jack Ross when McCann knocked us back. Not confident we’ll survive this season at all, but regardless we need a bit more stability in the team. This signing 8-10 players every window is no use.

Ah okay, so we've played him in central midfield every other of the seasons of abject failure the past few years. Maybe people can use that to see his real worth.

The only position he can play to some sort of degree is behind the striker, even then his legs have gone and it's quite embarassing watching some of his play now.

Thank you.

He couldn't get a game for a Partick side who's fans are creaming themselves over signing O'Dea, and who had Tam Scobbie as a regular, so make your own mind up..

Jeffries didn’t get much game time with us, the times he did play he was ok, but definitely not good enough for the Premiership and particularly not in your situation.

The quality of our youths appears to be vastly improved purely going by their league positions. The time can’t be far off from when we start promoting from within and stopping the ridiculous turnover of players each season. 

Last season’s squad didn’t need an overhaul. Keeping the likes of Spanish Jon, O’Hara, Murray and adding 4 experienced quality players should’ve been all that was required.

Would you guys rather we sent a junior side to play QOS?

I reckon our best bet is to send the juniors and focus on the league. If anyone shines at the cup game give them a shot at a step up.

Could work for our benefit and not risk a first team injury.

Jack Ross wouldn't have went to Dundee regardless. Your board screwed up by not looking around for candidates and plumping for McCann again.

Even if they had got Ross, he'd still have been Sunderlands top target and he would've still have gone there.

We wouldn't be in the mess we are now though.

Our history in the cup in recent years means the 1st team will do the job anyway. No juniors required.

We are where we are. Actually won’t bother me that much if we go down. We’ve been through it before, let’s face it. It’s far to early to be slagging Jim Mac. He’s inherited 2 managers, quite frankly fucking dreadful, signings. His first transfer window is this January, which we all know is an absolute mare, with a small war chest. Look at yesterday, the great hope of the NcCann era, Deacon - how dreadful was he? Innes - fucking pish. Christ we could go on and on. I’ll give him a bit more time.

100% agree. 

If we go down we can get back to smacking the dayglos about and have a serious shot at silverware.

We’ve failed to beat any championship team in 4 attempts this season. I’m more worried about double relegation.

Relegation is when you get rid of all the wage stealing half asses. Most of them feel entitled to top flight football and the pay it brings so jump ship immediately.

I don't think it will be easy but it's probably the fastest way to fix the current squad problems.

Could be in league 2 and I'd still follow the dark blue. Would obviously like to stay up.
